Do I need anchor plates? How many anchor plates do I need?

Anchor plates for your Ekodome

Anchor plates are necessary for Ekodome projects that will be exposed to extreme weather, for permanent structures, and for Ekodomes that will be built-out. Anchor plates come in a set that matches the size of the Ekodome.

The steel anchor plates are strategically placed to securely anchor the dome to the foundation, providing stability and resistance against external forces such as wind and seismic activity. Using steel for these specific components ensures that our domes maintain their structural integrity and can withstand various environmental conditions

Anchor plates will need to be added to your order because they are not included in the kit. Some customers prefer to design their own anchor system or order the anchor plates after building their Ekodome. 

Each Ekodome has a custom amount of anchors in a set:

16' Luna: 10 anchors in a set

22' Terra: 15 anchors in a set

29' Cosmos and 30' Stellar: 20 anchors in a set
